<![CDATA[This study examines Dynamic-Networked Archipelagic Governance in population administration service delivery in the Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia. The study responds to the problem that population administration services in archipelagic regions are shaped not only by administrative procedures, but also by distance, sea transportation, weather uncertainty, limited connectivity, and the everyday mobility of island communities. A convergent mixed-methods design was employed by combining survey data from 220 service users with semi-structured interviews involving 12 informants. Quantitative data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The findings show that Dynamic Governance Capability and Networked Governance are positively and significantly associated with Population Administration Service Effectiveness. The regression model explains 95.0% of the variation in service effectiveness; however, this result is interpreted cautiously because the two independent variables show a very high correlation and indicate multicollinearity. Rather than treating the variables as fully separate predictors, this study argues that adaptive government capability and local governance networks operate as interconnected mechanisms in island-based public service delivery. The conceptual contribution of this study lies in proposing Dynamic-Networked Archipelagic Governance as a framework for understanding how public services become more accessible, timely, reliable, and territorially responsive in geographically fragmented regions.]]>
